Go for Revenue boost at Brighton

Written by Press Association | Aug 9, 2024 7:16:58 AM

Revenue can put a series of close calls behind him to claim the Harry Bloom Memorial 'Brighton Bullet' Handicap on Friday.

The gelded son of Profitable began his season with two fifth-place finishes at Windsor before finding only Thunderous Love too good at Salisbury.

Dropping down to 1100m at Bath did the trick for his first win of the season.

He was placed in each of his last three starts at Salisbury, Bath and Chepstow and after two runner-up efforts, the Eve Johnson Houghton-trained three-year-old can prevail in the hands of Georgia Dobie, who recently rode out her claim when winning on the handler's Raison d'Etre at Sandown.

Monkey Miss can follow up on her recent Chepstow triumph in the Starsports.Bet Handicap.

The daughter of Due Diligence broke her maiden at Bath in May but struggled to initially build on that.

However, she bounced back to form after being stepped up in trip to 1400m at Leicester last month, when she chased home Queens Road Revue, beaten only 0.75-lengths at 20-1.

Monkey Miss then got her rewards in Wales when leading home My Clementine by 3-lengths and she can quickly double up in Sussex.

Evening Saigon can make it two from two in the British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes at Musselburgh.

The Harry Angel colt won on debut at Tipperary for the Evening Saigon Partnership and trainer Michael O'Callaghan.

He was then bought by Wathnan Racing and transferred to the care of Hamad Al Jehani and he can make his first run in the Emir of Qatar's peacock blue and old gold colours a winning one.

The ultra-consistent Lincoln Rockstar can get back to winning ways in the Copper Blossom Ladies Day Handicap.

This Churchill filly was transferred from the care of David O'Meara to Ivan Furtado at the start of the season and made a winning start with a 1-length victory over 2400m at Beverley.

She was fifth of nine at Hamilton before making a successful return to the East Yorkshire track when coming home 0.75-lengths clear of Escarpment.

Stepped up to 2800m at Nottingham, she came second, but a drop back to 2400m bore fruit at Leicester.

Lincoln Rockstar was stepped up in grade at Chester and gave a good account of herself when chasing home Grey Fable and she can make her second go at this level a winning one.

Tayala can convert a series of near misses into victory in the Maritime Cargo Services Smart Customs Clearance Fillies' Handicap at Newmarket.

Victory over 1400m at Kempton was followed by second at the same track when stepped up to 1600m, where she did not quite stay the extra 200m.

A fourth-place finish at Salisbury was followed by near misses at Newbury and Carlisle and she was a solid third last time out at Epsom when stepped up to an extended 1600m, but back at 1400m she can prosper. - Press Association
